I generally take notes of what I'm feeling at the time and or trying to do as well as take screenshots. Then I go back the screenshots and create my story while trying add an impression of what I was feeling at that time.

True, feelings come into play most of the time with these types of stories. Also, welcome to the forums and the lounge!
A question for everyone: Do you take notes while gaming to help you with your writing or do you just play and write based on what you remember and see in your screenshots? I tend to forget what happened n my gameplay session and have to go back in game to see what a certain Sim's name was and at which community lot things happened, etc. I've tried recording while playing, but the space videos took of one day in the game was like over 40GB! I could try taking notes of what happens, but I don't like pausing, writing and playing over and over again. This is for people who don't have a specific plot line in mind and mostly just write what happens in-game.
I suppose this is a question for game driven stories. I haven't really played my legacy save in a long time. I either write or go in game and take screenshots. Sometimes the way the screenshots turn out makes me add something to the scene. But barely anything happens in my save without it being carefully planned. I keep several saves of my story family, because I once almost lost them, when the save was corrupted. I couldn't bear it if any of my main characters accidentally died while I play. They will die, alright, but only if and when I tell them to. Control freak is my middle name.
@Bugsie2016 like @InfraGreen said its premiering on the day after Valentine's day. But I heard a lot of people don't like the actor who plays Kim Possible because unlike traditional casting (aka Dawson casting) the actor playing the title character is actually a teenager. But I seen a preview for it and "Ron Stoppable" doesn't have yellow hair but the villains (if the "Call Me, Beep me" music video by said actor) look like the animated counterparts. Oh and its suppose to be during at least Ron's and Kim's first year of high school. But it doesn't make sense that Kim would have the gear from Wade guy before she gets the *accidental call"? (for someone who never saw the series I know too much about it)
... Oh . No....
Don't they dare ruin my Kim possible t.t
I saw that some of Disney Channel's other stars (Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart+ others D.C. stars but I recognise the 3 names I mention because of Descendants 1 and Descendants 2 movies) promoting the Kim Possible movie. When there was a clip of the naked mole rat Booboo Stewart said "They still can't afford clothes for the mole rat?"

That sounds like a grease fire which is possible and very dangerous.
i remember this. colin forbes was the founder and he was stubborn. .
colin i want a stove.
me you don't even have walls yet.
colin i want a stove
i caved and he was dead in 10 minutes
thats not even the funniest part though. i started the save over and when his wife died his first thought was not my wife is dead it was i have to pee.
then later when he died because of a glitch he died 6 times

Who's your favourite singer and what is the song's name in Vampires?

Her name is AURORA. The song is a special simlish edition of Under the Water from her album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend. IT'S SO GOOD
You can find it in the options menu by going Music > Spooky > THERE SHE IS YES
Sorry. I just REALLY REALLY LOVE HER and it's so amazing that she's in this game!!!!!

I'll take a look at it when I play again! One thing I love a lot about The Sims is the music. I love hearing a song I recognize and love! It's really awesome that those artists took the time to record Simlish versions of their songs.

I want that song now. I would pay money for that song. It's just SO PERFECT
I have another question: How do you change a link address's name? For example, I want to have a TOC for my stories and instead of all the posts just being all over the place, I want to have links to each chapter in chronological order. I don't want to just copy and paste the link addresses of my chapters in my TOC, I want to list each chapter and when you click on it, you get taken to the post. Sorry if this causes confusion - I'm sure Cathy Tea told me how to do this, but my email inbox is so spammed at this point that I can't find the email anymore.
this made me laugh yesterday. because cog isn't writing for now we hang out in the thread and ahadys avi is a dragon. so i said dragons don't meow. you kind of had o be there.
Not a chapter, but i thought i'd let you guys know that i updated the character index for TDC. So much has changed about the characters and i'm introducing new ones soon, so i finally decided to work on it.

Hi, Divan! Did you get an answer to this?
The way I do this is by creating a TOC page. I create a new page, rather than a post.
Then, in the page, I manually link to each chapter.
Here's how:
1) Write the title of the chapter (or "Chapter 1"--whatever you want the linked words to be).
2) Highlight those words.
3) Click the link tool in WordPress and enter the link address for that chapter.
Repeat, until you've added all the chapters that go on that TOC page.
You won't need to change any link addresses. Just write the words you want to be linked, then highlight them, select the link tool, enter the URL (or link address) for that chapter or post.
My blog's got a TOC for each story, so you can look it over to get some idea of how it's done.
I've got a feeling my instructions here aren't that clear, so please keep asking so I can try to clarify!
